"White Candles" leaf

Another image captured for the macrophotography class I'm taking at the Chicago Botanic Garden, this one is of the leaf of the Whitfieldia shrub whose bud was on display yesterday. This time I stopped way down, to the smallest aperture of the macro lens, and used a slower ISO speed to maximize image quality. A little tweaking in Lightroom 3 intensified the veins and the colors.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Every day, the weather gods and the photography angels willing, a new photograph will be posted here. Some will be from my archive of nature photographs, taken both from my backyard deck in Evanston, Illinois, and on the shore of Lake Superior in Upper Michigan. From time to time I'll sneak in a shot or two taken while indulging in my other passions, railfanning and small-plane aviating.
